RAISE a toast to Night of Glass in the Happy Birthday Eddie Moll
Rated Stakes at Beverley tomorrow.

Les Eyre's six-year-old has been a model of consistency this
season but has yet to gain just reward for his efforts.

It seemed that the first success of the season was simply a matter
of time after Night of Glass had finished a close third to Right Wing in
the Worthington Lincoln at Doncaster in March.

But his luck has been out since in three other fiercely-competitive
events - Ascot's Victoria Cup, the Thirsk Hunt Cup and the
Hambleton Rated Stakes at York.

Tomorrow's contest is nothing like as difficult and he has
been given a chance by the handicapper as he is allowed to run off a
mark 3lb lower than at York.

Eyre can complete a double by sending out Butterscotch to take the
Rose And Crown Handicap.

The three-year-old was a close fourth to Nathan's Boy here a
month ago and the form of that race has worked out remarkably well with
the second (Gypsy), Enfilade (third) and Deploy Venture (fifth) all
winning on their next outing.

England's Rose showed enough promise on her debut second to
Evergreen Venture at Lingfield two weeks ago to suggest that she is up
to winning races, starting with the Kings Head Maiden Fillies'
Stakes.

Victory Spin, runner-up to subsequent Sagitta 2000 Guineas winner
Island Sands on his racecourse bow at Salisbury last August, should
outclass the opposition in the Conservative Club Maiden Stakes.

China Red can make a winning return to Lingfield's Equitrack
in the day's Showcase race, the Coral Handicap over a mile.

The five-year-old, trained by John Hills, was a respectable third
to Bomb Alaska and Showboat at Goodwood last Tuesday but had earlier
been most impressive when making all to dispose of Silca Blanka by six
lengths over this course and distance.

My Lass was an expensive failure on her only previous run on
Equitrack last November but it is possible that the surface was not to
blame for her poor effort.

And trainer Sir Mark Prescott is giving the recent Hamilton winner
a chance to atone in the Country & Western Night 29th May Classified
Stakes.

Penmayne, a fair eighth to Irish 1000 Guineas winner Hula Angel in
the Group Two Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket last October, takes a big drop
in class in the Mosey On Down To Country & Western Night Novice
Stakes.
